To know what forever is, implies that God knows all, therefore placing a limit on the size of forever since it can be known.
Thus, we arrive at this contradiction:
Forever cannot be measured. God measures forever.
Forever can only be forever as long as it has no limits.
But implying that God knows forever, is like saying God contains forever, therefore forever becomes finite, which is an uber contradiction in itself.
Does this disprove God? Or does it disprove forever?

Many seem to be saying, but God has no beginning or end, so where is the contradiction?
The contradiction is:
If you know it all, it has a limit. You can't put forever in a bottle, so to speak, & contain it like that, or it ceases to be forever.
Limiting the limitless to being able to say, I know all, is like saying, ok, here is the start & end of forever.
It can't be done, God or no God.
Once you tie everything up in all of forever into a neat bundle, & call it known, it is no longer forever, but rather a finite & known measure of space.
Anything that can be measured, definitely is not forever. By saying God knows all, that is placing a measure on forever, limiting it to finiteness.

your breakdown is wrong. "Forever can only be forever as long as it has no limits." For a limitless God, this seems a mute point. God is timeless, always was, always will be. Placing a limit on the size of forever would be like placing a limit on the knowledge of God...we cant phathom it...not till we experience it.

This doesn't even make sense. God's perfect. The bible says (actually God said it) that He is the Alpha and the Omega; He has no beginning and has no end.
You and I both have a beginning and an end, (maybe), and because of this fact, it is impossible for us even to imagine no beginning and no end.

The concept of linear time, as we know it, seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years began at the conception of our Universe, or so scientists are telling us now.
Since Jehovah created the Universe, we can trust the fact he put it in our hearts to live forever, and obedient mankind will.

The matter of time is somtimes confusing compared to God.
He knows what will happen forever.
He gives us this "life" to prepare us forever in heaven.
Since he is the Alpha and the Omega he is with us in Heaven right now if we are saved.
I do not fuly understand it either.

Your problem is that you are not God. The contradiction is only in your logic. God knows about Eternity. He LIVES in it.
I once described eternity as the ending note of the music of creation.

If you believe in God, then you know that he is omnipotent. He knows all, past and future, and is infallable. So yes he does know
You just disproved the existence of God, join the club.
